the assertion. His reply was that the
writ of error would certainly have been
granted had the record Of The case been
prepared differently.
"a frst-rate criminal lawyer should
have handled this record, he said, "nnd
should have laid special stress on the one
great point-the seizure OF Spies's prop
eriy by the police. Unless o record is
prepared properly the best lawyers in
the land can do nothing for clients. All
the lawyers in this case did their best,
but the fact rcmains-and any intelli-
gent lawyer will tell you so-that the
record was not made so strong MS it
might have been"
An eminent lawyer interested in the
case declined to express any opinion on
the matter, and simply said that in case
record was imperfect or badly pre-
pared no lawyer, however distinguished,
could remedy the evil. That Captain
Black and his colleagues had done their
utmost to save their clients, he said, was
apparent to every one.

The following extract from the Dis
Pafch Of April, lSSJ, calls to mind that
General MAHoNE, working through a
Republican senator (Mr. CoSGERl, sue

the appropriation to James river from
SO, 600 to so, 000. Mr. GEORGE y.
WISE had the original amount restored
in the conference committee. he need
lot say it was done Ivy others, for we all
know he could have controlled CoSGrR
if he had chosen. His fight against
James river is fight against working
men
1T will be remembered that at the
last session, on the enlightened motion
of Mr. Dunlon, dclega from this city,
the Legislature, by unanimous vote Of
both houses, March 10, 1881, instructed
her senators to vote for and favor this
And it was lately seen
how, against these instructions, General
Malone, acting through the CJhgCr-CN,
Of Michigan, got the Senatc's Committee
on Commerce to report n reduction OF
the appropriation by 80 per cent. ; and
more than that, to recommends dCstruc-
lion Of the plan upon which the improve
ment was to be made. But Mr.. Riddle
berger, deaf We may suppose TO the re-
OF the moribunl pCW
H0ifrc of II dccaying faction, stood true
10 his obligations to his state and obeyed

ar he deserves TO be congratulated on
lis fidelity to his State and his indie
oendencc Of her enemy. May We not
nope that as long as lie remains in the

CaptqjH d. IT, Uudgin:
Ny Dear Captain, 1t was my purpose
to have attended your three barbecues
and thus paid my personal respects to as
many Of my friends as possible in the
county Of Caroline, but unexpected busi-
ness arrangements have most inoppor-
tuuely INTERVIEWED at this particular time
which render il impossible for me TO

apology to orr friends and say that it IS
far greater disappointment to me than
my absence can possibly be to them, and
in my name urge them to come to the
polls without exception. The results Of
the approaching election in this State
are Of paramount importance to all Of
our fclloWcitizens, and involves
the question of whether we shall
have good and honest government in
our beloved State, or whether by our
supiuencss and apathy We shall allow
the re-establishmcnt OF that condition Of
affairs which SO disastrously affect the
welfare OF our people as to cause them
to rise in their majesty and 10 utterly
overthrow the peoplewho were precipl-
tating the State into condition Of ire
tricvablc ruin. Let he urge them to
remember the larlfought contest of
1883, and beg them to cast their votes
III such a manner as To- retain The van
tacc ground then gained, and for all
time to come - keen down the system
of "boss rule. which is utterly subycr-
sive Of freedom. Please say further to
my constituents that | have earnestly
stnyen to advance their best Interests.
and that should they again elect me t.

PARKEEsBURG, November The case
OF the Grafton and Greenbrier Railroad
Company against the Baltimore and
Ohio was decided to day in the United
States Court by Judge Jackson-dis-
solving the injunction which restrained
the Grafton and Grccnbrier directors
from issuing stock to the amount OF
Sl1G,0 GEO TO the Baltimore and Ohio.
The Grafton aud Grccnbricr railroad
was intended to connect with the Chesa-
pcakc and Ohio in Grccnbricr county
We suppose We might say is intended. "
1t appears from the above paragraph
that the Baltimore and Ohio has SIG
600 Of Its stock, and perhaps an addi-
tional sum sufficient to give the Balti-
more company the control of the pro.
lectod railroad. 1t matters not. Let
the road be finished to tho Chesapeake
